Advaita does not belong to any particular religion. It is not philosophy but Advaita is the truth of our true existence.+

The word 'Hinduism' has become a common word in the modern world. The real fact is that words like Hinduism, Hindu, etc. never appear in any of the ancient scriptures! So to know our religion, the first step is to know what dharma means.

The ancient peoples of India belong to the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma, therefore they have nothing to do with present-day Hinduism. 

The ancient peoples of the Indus Valley of undivided India were not identified themselves as Hindu.

Hindu idol or deity or temple is nothing to do with the Vedic religion. Vedic people ate beef. The Hindu practices of idol worship and temple worship ban on beef-eating introduced many centuries later.

As one peeps into the annals of religious history he finds that the Hinduism which exists today is not a continuation of the Vedic religion, and it has no real historical foundation. Hinduism is of a much later origin.

As per the researchers, the two faiths the Hindu belief system has drifted miles away from the Vedic faith so that the two seem to be two distinct faiths. It is not difficult to discover that there is no noticeable continuity of Hinduism from the religion of the Vedas.

The distinctive characteristics of the Hindu belief system cannot be traced in the Vedic literature. Besides, although the Vedas are revered as sacred texts, there are many people in India who do not know what ‘belief in the Vedas’ means. In most cases, the acquaintance of the Hindus with the Vedas is limited to the few hymns that are recited in temples and household liturgies.

Max Müller says: ~ "The religion of the Veda knows no idols; the worship of idols in India is a secondary formation, a degradation of the more primitive worship of ideal gods."

Hindus are idol worshipers of a large number of Gods and Goddesses whereas in Vedas the God has been described as:-

 Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~   God is the Supreme Spirit.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the  Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Thus, it refers to formless and attributeless God, which is the Atman (Soul), the innermost self within the false experience. Thus, it indicates clearly all the Gods with form and attributes are mere imagination based on the false self. Thus Atman or Soul, the Self is God in truth. 

Remember:~

The Vedic truth is a pure spiritual truth. The essence of the Vedas is pure spirituality. Advaita propagated by Sage Sankara is pure spirituality or Adyatma.

Advaita is nothing to do with Advaitic orthodoxy, which is meant for the ignorant populace. There is a need to bifurcate religion and yoga from spirituality or Adyathma.

Sage Sankara gave religious, ritual, or dogmatic instruction to the ignorant populace, but pure wisdom only to the few who could rise to it. Hence, the interpretation of his writings by commentators is often confusing because they mix up the two viewpoints. Thus, they may assert that ritual is a means of realizing Brahman, which is absurd.

Sage Goudpada: - “The merciful Veda teaches karma and Upasana to people of lower and middling intellect while Jnana is taught to those of higher intellect.

Certain principles are common to all orthodox Advaitic thoughts that are taken for granted. Orthodox assume that the doctrine of karma is valid because they accept the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as reality.

If they accept the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality then whatever Sage  Sankara declaration: ~ Brahman is the truth The World is Unreal everything is Truly Brahman and nothing else has any value. Thus, the Advaitic orthodoxy is nothing to do with the Advaitic truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Advaita is “Science of the Soul, which is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Sage  Sankara’s wisdom is the universal truth and ultimate truth par excellence.

Advaita does not belong to any particular religion. It is not philosophy but Advaita is the truth of our true existence.

Advaita is the Science of Truth; the Atmic path is the path of spiritual liberation par excellence, wide and deep as the ocean which contains virtually all the water of the world and in which all particular forms ultimately dissolve.

Sage Sri, Sankara gave religious, ritual, or dogmatic instruction to the mass but Advaitic wisdom only to the few who could rise to it. Hence, the interpretation of his writings by commentators is often confusing because they mix up the two viewpoints. Thus, they may assert that ritual is a means of realizing Brahman, which is absurd.

The Advaita is the Soul ~ the One without A Second

Advaita is the nature of the Soul. The Advaita is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness itself. The Advaita is the spiritual heart. The Advaita is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Advaita because It is the very essence of the one who denies It. Advaita l is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.

Advaita is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman. Consciousness is the only real eternal.  Everything is impermanent  non-eternal,  

Those who are stuck up with orthodoxy believing it will get them Advaitic moksha will never be able to realize the Sage Sankara’s Advaita will rot in the prison of ignorance. The path meant for ignorance will keep them permanently in the domain of ignorance.

Those who want the Advaitic wisdom of Sage Sankara have to discard the orthodox Advaita which propagates falsehood as truth without mercy. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

In reality, the experience is an impossibility because the reality is nondual.+

In reality, the experience is an impossibility because the reality is non-dual. Experience is possible only in the domain of the dualistic illusion or Maya. 

Experience implies duality. Experience belongs to an individual. The individual is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self because the Soul, the Self is not an individual because the Soul is nondual, the Soul is nondual because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Anubhav in the Advaitic contest is not an experience but it is the realization of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion (Maya or world). Remember the 'Self', not an individual but the Self is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. the experience is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. In reality, the form, time, and space are one in essence.

Sage Sankara himself has warned us not to use ambiguous words, and to practice semantic analysis (“Definition of one's own Self." Page 199, v.24 of "Sankara's Selected Works”

Sage Sankara strongly advocated the study of Upanishads, and at the same time cautioned that the study of Upanishad alone would not lead to moksha. In matters of such as spiritual attainment, one’s own realization was the sole authority and it cannot be disputed

Sage Sankara also said the study of Upanishad was neither indispensable nor a necessary prerequisite for attaining the human goal, the moksha.

Sage Sankara pointed out; even those who were outside the Upanishad fold were as eligible to moksha as those within the fold were. He declared that all beings are Brahman, and therefore the question of discrimination did not arise. All that one was required to do was to get rid of ignorance (Avidya or duality).

Sage Sankara: ~ 'Like a servant who carries a lamp in front of you to find your way, and you have found it, so becomes the Veda to that person. What is the Veda? ~ utterances of those who have known the Truth. Here is one who has known the Truth; why should he or she depend upon the Veda further? Actual realization takes you beyond books. At a certain stage, books become a botheration. The Upanishad itself says that the 'words are only so much of distraction for such minds'

Upanishads:~ They alone in this world are endowed with the highest wisdom who are firm in their conviction of the sameness and birthlessness of Atman. The ordinary man does not understand their way. (Chapter IV — Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada)

Sage  Sankara himself says: ~ VC 59. The study of the Scriptures is useless so long as the highest Truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest Truth has already been known.

60. The Scriptures, consisting of many words are a dense forest that merely causes the mind to ramble. Hence men of wisdom should earnestly set about knowing the true nature of the Self.

61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

It is not that one should pore over the ancient scriptures. There is no need to study first, and then realize. One has to realize first, then only he will know ‘what is the truth’ and ‘what is untruth’. One has to make his discoveries through the process of rational thinking.

That is why Sage Sankara says:~ V C:~65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

It is not that one should pore over the ancient scriptures. There is no need to study first, and then realize. One has to realize first, then only he will know ‘what is the truth’ and ‘what is untruth’. One has to make his discoveries through the process of rational thinking.

Sage Sankara says: ~ What is accepted without a proper inquiry will not lead to the final Goal. (Commentary on Vedanta Sutra).

The 'Self" cannot be experienced because the experience is possible only in the realm of duality. There is neither experience nor experiencer in reality. In Self-awareness, the body, ego, and the world are not considered different from consciousness.

The experience and experiencer exist within the domain of the form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are within the domain of the dualistic illusion.

To experiencer must have a form, without the form the experience is impossible? The experience is impossible without form, time, and space. The experiencer and the experience are one, in essence. The essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is the fullness of the consciousness without the division of the form, time, and space. All the division in consciousness is merely an illusion. Thus, other than consciousness all else is merely an illusion. The illusion is also consciousness because it is created out of consciousness.

Atmic path is nothing to do with religion and the yogic path. Atmic path is the path of wisdom. All your accumulated knowledge is nothing to with the Atmic path. Atmic path is not a path of discussion or exchange of views and opinion but the direct realization of the 'Self' hidden by the dualistic illusion.

The seeker must have the patience to open the blogs and posting and read. It will not only help you to clear all your cobweb of doubts and confusion. Without reading the blogs trying to argue on your own yardstick, is not of any use. Whatever you have read, whatever you have heard and accumulated becomes a hindrance in realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

All your egocentric accumulated cocktail knowledge is not Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana soulcentric knowledge is not available in the spiritual supermarket.

All accumulated knowledge is mental Garbage is no use in the quest for truth. The seeker has to discard all the accumulated knowledge and start afresh.

Reading and reflecting on my blogs and postings gradually, the seekers will start assimilating and realizing ‘what is the truth’ and what the untruth is. Repeated reading my blogs and postings make the seeker Soulcentric and the inner dialogue will start and clear all the doubts and confusion.

A perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ through deeper thinking and reasoning helps to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

In the Atmic path discussion of the unimportant subject matter is a great hindrance. The path of truth is the path of verification.

When there are no doubts and confusion, then they have realized the truth that the form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. There is no use in wasting time in questioning and arguing same time and effort has to be used to make the seeker more independent and without external spoon-feeding, he can reach the inner core, which is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. :~Santthosh Kumaar

The beginning and the end are of the dualistic illusion or Maya. The Soul, the Self has neither has any beginning nor end because it is an ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.+

The beginning and the end are of the dualistic illusion or Maya. The Soul, the Self has neither has any beginning nor end because it is an ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Remember:~

As your inner conviction about the Soul grows you will be able to realize ‘what is the truth?’ and ‘what is the untruth?’

As we keep thinking and reasoning deeper and deeper, the truth will shines as pure awareness in the midst of the duality (waking).

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is your ultimate teacher. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for the Soul is the goal.

Millions are searching for truth but one in million will realize it. You are one from that million because you have the intense urge to realize the ultimate truth.

When the seeker is ready, the guidance comes on its own. An earnest desire to grow and a sense of deep commitment are the hallmarks of one who aspires to be a seeker.

When at the core of one’s being a person comes to realize he/she needs to seek a path for coming out of one’s unconscious and conditioned life, mysteriously the guidance appears to guide and shows the way.

Read repeatedly my postings and blogs and reflect and reason deeply which helps you to create a mental yardstick in your subconscious to discriminate between ‘what is the truth? And what is the untruth? 

When the subconscious is receptive and ready then it will start rejecting the untruth and finally then the Soul, the 'Self’ alone will prevail as the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.

There is no practice as such, but perfect understanding is needed to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atman Gnana.

A deeper Self-search reveals the fact that the Self is not physical, but the Self is the formless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Therefore, all the accumulated knowledge, experiences, and understanding based on the ego are falsehood because the ego is the false self, within the false experience (waking).

The ‘Self’ is not you. You are the ego. The ego is the waking entity. Thus, whatever is based on the waking entity is bound to be falsehood because the waking experience itself is a falsehood. All the Gurus and their teachings limit the ‘Self’ as individuality. Thus, they yield only half-truth.

There is a need to realize the three states, which comes and goes is merely an illusion. All three states are made of single stuff. That single stuff is consciousness. Knowledge of the single stuff is Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

It is your sincerity and seriousness that will make you reach the ultimate end of understanding and realization. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

Let you be clear on one thing that you and the world in which you exist is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the Soul or consciousness.+

Sage Sankara:~ VC "All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman which is absolutely free from all the limitations of human thought.

This universe is common to all of us, therefore one must include the universe in his investigation in order to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. It is only after one has inquired into the nature of the objective universe, that he should inquire into who is the knower. If, however, one inquiries into the knower before the inquiry into the universe, then it is mere mysticism. One must have a perfect understanding of what is what.

v “What is the universe?”

v “What is this ‘I’?”

That is why Sage Sankara indicated in (VC):- 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘‘Self’’ how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the ‘‘Self’’, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

Remember:~

The world subjected to creation and dissolution only from the standpoint of the ego. The Soul, the Self cannot be subjected to creation and dissolution because the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The Soul is as it is.

Let you be clear on one thing that you and the world in which you exist is merely a dualistic illusion or Maya created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

But in reality, you and the world in which you exist neither exists in the past nor exists now nor going to exist in the future.

Whatever existed in the past and whatever exists now and whatever is going to exists in the future is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

All our experience of birth, life, and death is merely an illusion created out of consciousness.

The only real thing in the world in which we exist is consciousness, which is the cause of this world and it itself is uncaused.

All your doubts and confusions are based on an unsupported assumption because your views and judgments are based on the dualistic perspective.

You presume that the cause-effect relationship is valid and real. But causal relationships have no reality. they lack reality because, on the non-dualistic perspective, there is neither the cause nor the effect there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Whatever is perceived, the one who perceives and the perception within the dualistic illusion is not different from the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, because the dualistic illusion is created out of single stuff and that single stuff is consciousness. :~ Santthosh Kumaar

All mantras and prayers are based on personal Gods,. Personal Gods are not God in truth. Sage Sankara says God in truth is impersonal.+

All mantras and prayers are based on personal Gods,. Personal Gods are not God in truth. Sage Sankara says God in truth is impersonal.

When you realize personal Gods are not God in truth then the falsity of the mantras stand exposed.

Lord Sri Krishna himself says that he can do nothing to make a man intelligent straight away. The adepts give Prasad, blessing, initiations, mantras, etc. only to confer temporary peace of mind, to help you to get rid of worries, but not to confer Gnana. The capacity to receive it must first be inborn in man by evolutionary degree.

Sage Sankara:~ 61. For one who has been bitten by the serpent of Ignorance, the only remedy is the knowledge of Brahman. Of what avail are the Vedas and (other) Scriptures, Mantras (sacred formulae), and medicines to such a one?

The mantra-yoga consisting of repeating the name of God, or even the AUM; thousands of times yield nothing. It can appeal only to the ignorant, to those who cannot think deeper. It is a mere religious fable. The real exercise is to think of the meaning of the name or the AUM and then only do you get something.

Mantras can do nothing. If they really had any power why did not Godmen use one to stop the wars, terrorism, epidemics, and natural calamities?

All the magical power of mantras are a religious fable because religion is based on the false Self( you or ego) and false experience(waking or the world) Visions and Samadhi, are illusions from the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self.

That is why Sage Sri, Sankara: ~ VC- 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the ‘Self’ how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

All the magical power of mantras are religious fable because religion is based on the false Self (waking or ego) and false experience(waking or world) Visions and Samadhi are illusions from the standpoint of The Soul, the Self.

Remember:~

When you realize what God is supposed to be in actuality according to your own scriptures the falsity of the personal Gods is exposed.

When Vedas itself say never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman, then it is foolish to worship personal Gods in place of real God.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God IS Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. God cannot be seen directly by anyone. God pervades all beings and all directions.

God with form, name, and attributes does not find any support from the Vedas.

Sage Sankara’s Supreme Brahman is impersonal, Nirguna (without Gunas or attributes), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without special characteristics), immutable, eternal, and Akarta (non-agent). It is above all needs and desires. It is always the Witnessing Subject. It can never become an object as it is beyond the reach of the senses. Brahman is non-dual, one without a second. It has no other beside it. It is destitute of difference, either external or internal. Brahman cannot be described because the description implies a distinction. Brahman cannot be distinguished from any other than It. In Brahman, there is not a distinction between substance and attribute. Sat-Chit-Ananda constituted the very essence or Svarupa of Brahman, and not just Its attributes. The Nirguna Brahman of Sage Sankara is impersonal.

Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).

When Bhagavad Gita says, God is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material then nothing has to be accepted as God other than consciousness.

Even Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God) is present in the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.

Even Rig Veda: ~ The Atman is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the Self. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says:~ "He who worships the deities as entities entirely separate from him does not know the truth. For the Gods, he is like a pasu (beast)". (1. 4. 10) : ~

Present moment belongs to the dualistic illusion or Maya.+

The present moment is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self because the Soul, the Self is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

When the time itself is an illusion then the present moment is bound to be an illusion.

Those who hold the form, time, and space as a reality propagate such dualistic theory based on the imagination.

The present moment belongs to the domain of the form, time, and space. Without the past, the present will not appear. Every moment, the present becomes past. The present moves towards the future.

The time appears along with form and space. The form, time, and space are merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Thus, one cannot remain in the present moment. Time is the product of ignorance, therefore, every moment is the product of ignorance. Thus, the theory of the present moment is based on the false Self (waking entity) within the false experience (waking).

Time is the product of ignorance, therefore, every moment is the product of ignorance. Thus, the theory of the present moment is based on the false Self (waking entity) within the false experience (waking).

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the form, time, and space are merely an illusion thus the theory of the present moment belongs to the dualistic illusion or Maya.

In reality, there is neither the past nor the present nor the future exists: ~ Santthosh Kumaar

There is no need to search for the truth. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.+

Your quest for truth is over. There is no need to search for the truth. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

To search for this truth, there is no need to struggle. To understand, assimilate, and realize this truth you have to drop all your accumulated knowledge and stick to the truth.

The ultimate truth is the consciousness by realizing no second thing exists other than consciousness.

You and the world in which you exist is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness.

There is no need to read books, there is no need to indulge in an argument, there is no need to indulge in yoga to get ‘Self’-realization.

You have to only realize the 'Self' is not you and the ‘Self’ is not within your body because the 'Self' is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

The consciousness pervades all three states. All three states are created out of consciousness. For anything to exist consciousness has to be there.

The ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth dwells within the three states like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar.

Until one traces the truth hidden by the three states the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality. : Santthosh Kumaar

If the Self is not the body then why talk of the yogic chakras which are concerned with the body.+

If ‘Self' is not the body then why talk of the five senses which are concerned with the body.

Why talk of the yogic chakras which are concerned with the body.

Why talk of karma which is concerned with the body.

Why talk of religion, which is conferenced to the body.

Why talk of religious Gods, which is concerned with the body.

The Soul is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself uncaused.

The consciousness is not limited to the physical body but consciousness pervades the world in which the body exists.

Some gurus claim that the ‘Self’ is within the heart but the ‘Self’ is not within the physical body but the world in which you exist is within the Soul, which is the  ‘Self’.

People are searching for the ultimate truth in all the wrong places. They think the religious Gurus and yogis will help them to get ‘Self’-realization.

People are seeking within the dualistic illusion through various rituals, temples worship, pilgrimaging forests and mountaintops, monasteries without realizing the fact that they are searching the truth within the dualistic illusion with the illusory identity. The world in which we exist is the dualistic illusion.

Without realizing the world in which they exist is an illusion, it is difficult to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space.

What you are seeking is hidden by the dualistic illusion. The ultimate truth or Brahman dwells within the three states like fragrance in the flower; Musk lies within the Musk-deer yet seeks it afar." Until one traces the truth within the three states the illusion of birth, life, death, and the world is experienced as reality.

Deeper ‘Self’- the search reveals the fact that, ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’ but the ‘Self’’ is the ‘I- LESS Soul, which witnesses the coming and going, of the ‘I’. 

Until one gets a firm conviction that, only the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, is real and the world, in which he exists, is an illusion created out of the consciousness, it is difficult to realize the truth beyond the form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

The Soul becomes the fullness of consciousness in deep sleep(nonduality). The illusory division of form, time, and space created in consciousness in waking(duality).+

The Soul becomes the fullness of consciousness in deep sleep(nonduality). The illusory division of form, time, and space created in consciousness in waking(duality).

The Soul, the Self is present in the form of consciousness.

The ‘Self’ is not an individual because ‘Self’ is birthless, deathless; therefore it is erroneous to base the truth of the individual experience of the birth, life, death, God, and the world.

Suffice it to say that the world remains a reality for all except those who have attained the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

He who has identified the ‘Self’ with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is free from experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana free the Soul, the ‘Self’ from its cage of ignorance and consequently its freedom from experiencing the dualistic illusion as reality.

When the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance and it remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion is called Moksha. : ~

Santthosh Kumaar

When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm then everything falls into the right slot.+

Repeated reading my posting and blogs helps you to get a firm conviction that the Self, not you but the Soul.

The ‘Self’ is not within your body. The ‘Self’ is hidden by the world in which you exist.

The Gurus and yogis think the Self is within the body because their knowledge is based not on the Self but the birth entity (ego), which is the false self (you) within the false experience (world).

You are not the Self. You are nothing to do with the Soul, the Self.

The world in which you exist is a dualistic illusion or Maya. Your existence is limited to the dualistic illusion, which appears as waking (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).

Why you are thinking of the birth, life, death, and the world when the ‘Self is the birthless and deathless Soul.

The Soul is nothing to do with your experience of birth, life, death, and the world. Till the Soul wakes up from its sleep of ignorance you and the world in which you exist prevails as a reality.

Whatever is connected to your individual experience is of the dualistic illusion or Maya. Without the dualistic illusion or Maya illusion, the Soul alone prevails as the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

Remember: ~

First, realize the ‘Self is not within you. You are bound by the experience of the birth, life, death, and the world whereas the ‘Self is birthless and deathless because it is an ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist and it itself is uncaused.

The consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God. On the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self the world in which you exist is merely an illusion. Thus, the world in which exists hides the Soul, which is the real God.

Till you think the ‘Soul, the Self’ is within you, you will never be able to realize God. God is not limited to you but it pervades in everything and everywhere in the world in which you exist.

You are with the body. You are born in this world. You are living in this world and you are going to die in this world. The world itself is an illusion.

When the ‘Self’ is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness then what is the use of discussing the birth, life, death, and the world because the one which is born, lives and dies is not the ‘Self. The Soul is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

You are the birth entity. Your existence is limited to form, time, and space. Your religion, your religious Gods your beliefs, your religious rituals and prayers, your race, your nationality are nothing to do with Soul, the ‘Self’ because the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness itself is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

It is not you have to establish in consciousness but by realizing you, and your experience of the world is nothing but an illusion created out of consciousness the Self-awareness raise in the midst of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

Mentally reduce the world in which you exist into consciousness by realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness. If everything is consciousness then how can anything exist which is not consciousness?

When the conviction about consciousness becomes firm then everything falls into the right slot.

Self-realization is very much necessary to realize the world is an illusion. Until and unless you realize the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul, Self-realization is an impossibility. :~ Santthosh Kumaar
